Petition Mandate automatic General Elections when a Prime Minister is replaced mid-term.

Recent events saw a Prime Minister replaced by party members, bypassing public vote. This petition urges legislation for automatic General Elections in such scenarios, ensuring the leader holds a public mandate, which is foundational to our democracy.

More details

Democracy thrives when the power to choose our leaders rests with the people. The recent replacement of a Prime Minister without a General Election raises concerns about the legitimacy and the mandate of the leader, as they were not elected by the general public but by a section of a political party. This can potentially lead to a governance crisis or public unrest due to perceived illegitimacy.
